Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster

Above the Endless Sea, a streak of dark light crossed the ocean without stirring any waves.

Its speed was incredibly fast, yet it moved with minimal disturbance.

This demonstrated the sharpness in its flight and the exquisite skill of the person controlling the flying shuttle.

However, monstrous waves would still occasionally strike, echoing with roars like those of wild beasts.

Swoosh!

A beam of white light entered the outer chamber of the core room of the flying shuttle, silently waiting for the summons of the person inside.

During the wait, the white light instinctively avoided the room. Because within the room, there was an intensely sharp sword consciousness, seemingly capable of piercing through everything. Even though the sword consciousness was tightly suppressed by its master, Bai Meiling still dared not rush inside recklessly.

After a long while, the sword consciousness finally slowly dissipated.

Inside the room, a low voice was heard.

”What’s the matter?”

Bai Meiling’s spirit was lifted, and she flew inside.

She reported to the cross-legged Luo Chen: ”Master, a large number of sea demons have appeared in the East Sea, stirring up trouble, acting quite arrogant.”

Luo Chen’s brow furrowed slightly, seemingly surprised by the situation.

In the past, between Zhongzhou and the Eastern Wasteland lay a vast sea area, though not much of it was visible as land, it was still referred to by people as the East Sea.

As far as Luo Chen knew, although there were demon beasts within the East Sea, their numbers weren’t significant.

Especially after averaging out its vast area, their numbers were even less.

This was related to the once powerful Tianyuan Daoist Sect!

Any sea area near Zhongzhou had most of its demon beasts cleared out over the years through relentless slaughter.

Now, merely thirty years have passed since Zhongzhou’s collapse and the severe damage of the Daoist Sect, how could there have grown so many sea demons in such a short time given the growth period of demon beasts?

Luo Chen carefully questioned Bai Meiling about the observed situation, eventually arriving at a conclusion.

”Such changes are not of natural order, they must be orchestrated by someone with intent. It’s just unclear whether this situation appears only in this sea area, or if it’s happening on all three continents of the Tianyuan Daoist Sect.”

Luo Chen couldn’t deduce the mastermind, but vaguely sensed that Tianyuan Daoist Sect will likely face a season of frequent troubles.

”Did they attack the Frost Eagle Shuttle?”

”Not at all, the shuttle is too fast, often out of their attack range by the time they’re discovered.”

”Hmm, then let’s leave it for now, no need to bother with them.”

Bai Meiling nodded, respectfully withdrew.

After she left, Luo Chen pondered for a while, eventually shaking his head and stopped dwelling on this matter, turning his attention to the blood-colored longsword before his knees.

Yuan Tu Sword!

Emerging from the Land of Fallen Demons, it was a precious item casually refined by the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch during leisure.

As soon as it was born, it had slain a Divine Transformation Great Power.

Very early on, it was referred to as a Pseudo-Spirit Treasure.

Later, it was nurtured by Luo Chen over a hundred years, absorbing countless fresh blood, not excluding all the cultivation of Mingyuan Great Power Heize Ancestor.

Logically, it should have already crossed the final step to achieve the true status of a Spiritual Treasure.

But now, Yuan Tu Sword is still categorized as a True Device.

Luo Chen vaguely sensed what the final missing element is.

But he hasn’t made up his mind yet.

The sword is a weapon to kill, it harms the enemy as well as oneself!

If not careful, it could wound his own foundation.

To ensure foolproof success, Luo Chen must have enough assurance to take the final step.

And as to how to increase this so-called ”assurance,” Luo Chen already had a certain plan.

”Mastery Level achieved!”

Luo Chen gazed into the void, an entry on the attribute panel invisible to others was gently glowing.

[Thousand Clouds and Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Scripture Mastery 201/300]

This Sword Scripture originated from when Fu Chaosheng gifted it to compensate for his loss of fifty years lifespan.

Its order is extremely high, reaching the Fifth-Order Level, but itself isn’t particularly exquisite.

The reason it could achieve Fifth-Order Level despite not being very exquisite is that once mastered, this Sword Scripture possesses terrifying power comparable to Divine Power Skill.

Thousand Clouds Flowing Together, Qi Chong Star Han!

Once reaching this level, even a Divine Transformation Great Power cannot withstand the Absolute Summit’s single sword.

But to master that single sword is extremely difficult for ordinary cultivators.

Ordinary people may take years, even centuries, to refine a wisp of Sky Qi, the Thousand Cloud Realm requires a full thousand years.

Even with Luo Chen’s shocking talent, it previously took half a year to refine a single wisp.

Moreover, the greatest flaw of this cultivation technique is that it’s a one-time offensive method. Once the Sword Qi is cast during battle, it’s hard to retrieve.

In other words, even if you painstakingly spend hundreds of years cultivating hundreds of terrifying Sword Qi, it may all be wiped out by a single battle, bringing you back to square one.

Luo Chen is not immune to this.

During the South Border journey, to withstand the pursuit of the Netherworld Earth Dragon, he depleted years of accumulation and squandered all his gathered Chi Xiao Sword Qi with one sword strike.

At this moment, Luo Chen revisited this Sword Scripture with a clear purpose.

Even if it’s a one-time killing move, if it can be critical at a key moment in the future, all efforts are worthwhile.

Furthermore, Luo Chen discovered early on that he has a significant difference when cultivating the Thousand Clouds and Ten Thousand Transformations Sword Scripture compared to ordinary people.

That is, as proficiency improves, the efficiency of refining Sky Qi increases substantially.

From the initial beginner stage of half a year per wisp, to three months per wisp at proficient level... until during the recent travels, Luo Chen continuously refined Sky Qi, finally breaking through to the Mastery Level.

Indeed!

Luo Chen discovered that efficiency has once again greatly increased!
